I am a citizen of this planet, who believes there is a purpose and mission to our existence. I pursue that mission and try to enjoy every lesson, every day, and every last drop of the pain and joy we drink when we live. I live a mostly regret-free life, with each failure quickly becoming a valuable experience and something to laugh about, and every success something about which to be thankful and celebrative. I do all of this in and around my beloved Berkeley, California.

Do I want to color those eggs?
Do I want to clean the house and put out my decorative plates and vases full of tulips and fresias?
Do I want to go buy that one item of new clothing I have religiously purchased for myself in March since I have been on my own at 18?
My heart feels heavy and imprisoned. I wished they would let the last two go for Nowrooz, so that I could do all that. I wished....
